Four gold medals for Irish boxers

IRISH Amateur Boxing Association (IABA) Elite Director Gary Keegan was full of praise for the Irish squad after they landed four gold medals at yesterday’s Vajdin Senior Multi Nations in Albania.

Conor Ahern (51Kg) Eric Donovan (57Kg) Darren Sutherland (75Kg) and Ken Egan (81Kg) went all the way in an incredible night for Irish amateur boxing.

Ahern brushed aside concerns about a hand injury to beat Kosova’s Muhmud Gordo 5-0 while Donovan dispatched Loanis Monokandilo from Greece on an identical scoreline.
